OK, I now have a Hot Rod

Wes,

Thanks for the link, I put it in my "Favorites" till I get the money. How much did you pay after shipping?

Speaking of, how's that Weber Load Dump holding out for you? Are you still happy with it?

Tracker

It came to $303 total (that includes shipping). I like it. It is closed back but you can remove it if you want. It weighs about 40 lbs., not too bad at all. The color is a perfect match if you have the black tolex with silver grille. The construction seems very sturdy to me. So I am very happy with it. The Vintage 30's have a tighter bass than the stock Eminence 125 speaker. They sound good together.

I still use the Load Dump but not in the band. We are so loud I get into saturation anyway. But I use it at home with the Marshall DSL401 to get saturation at low volume.

Just my 2 cents, but I think it is good to turn your amp up to maximum clean without overdrive. Then back it down just a little. Then from there use the attenuator to bring the volume down to the level you need. This way you can still have a good clean, and then just step on an boost, overdrive or distortion pedal. The amp will SCREAM. Even an EQ pedal set flat can be used for a good boost pedal.

Anyway, once again Congrats to Moonrider. I think with time you will love your HRD. It is a great amp.
